Learning Outcomes:
Content:
Leaf, in science any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant.
As the primary sites of photosynthesis, leaves manufacture food for plants, which in turn nourish
and sustain all land animals. Leaves are an integral part of the stem system. They are attached by
a continuous vascular system to the rest of the plant so that free exchange of nutrients, water, and
end products of photosynthesis (oxygen and carbohydrates in particular) can be carried to its
various parts. Leaves are initiated in the apical bud (growing tip of a stem) along with the tissues
Procedure:
Engagement:
Students will be shown a brown paper back with diverse types of leaves, they will be
asked to guess what they think is in that paper bag. The teacher will pass the bag around and ask
students not to open it but shake it to hear the sound it makes to help them further guess what is
in the bag. After which the students finish guessing, the teacher will pour out the leaves on the
desk.
Exploration:
Students will be placed into groups of four to six students, where each group will be
given two leaves. They will be asked to describe among themselves what are the physical
features that they can see. Students who are a bit slower or who have learning challenges will be
given a leaf/ ves and will be asked to draw it. They will also be asked to describe what they see
and what makes this leaves different from the other in front of them. After students have
completed this, students will be asked to share their finding with the group and the teacher will
Explanation:
Students will be asked to watch a video on the board about the various parts of the leaf.
They will be asked to pay keen attention to video on the board, where they will be asked
questions after. The teacher will distribute a blank diagram of the leaf to the class and as the
video is being played. Students will then be asked what the various parts of the leaf are as
described in the video and will be asked to fill out the diagram before them.
Elaborate:
In their groups, students will be given a blank sheet, they be asked to create a poem or a
jingle about the leaf. Students will then be advised to use the information presented to them and
use it to create the content of their poems. They will be asked to share it to rest of the class and
Evaluate:
Students will be given these following questions and a diagram to answer based on their
levels.
Tier 1: Questions
1. What is the flat part of the leaf called?
Tier 2: These students will be asked to fill out this diagram of the plant to see if the grasp the
